"Even if you practice only for an hour a day with faith and inspiration, good qualities will steadily increase. Regular practice makes it easy to transform your mind. From seeing only relative truth, you will eventually reach a profound certainty in the meaning of absolute truth."Kyabje Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche.

Guru Rinpoche! He gave teachings and at the end could add words like these: "...but you who makes elaborate plans for what is not necessary, cannot practice with diligence", or "you with your desires and craving like raging dual winds are thinking not at Dharma but on yourself..." And so on...

I really don't believe that TNR loved the West any less than the East. I have found his teachings to be Upadesha on just about every page. He did not compromise in any respect to Vajrayana. Even this article has Upadesha in it, imo.

There are bad teachers and there are good teachers, whether Western or Eastern. I have followed some bad ones straight to hell and am back. With TNR's and Lama Dawa's assistance, I am no longer bitter and follow the sublime teachings as best as I can.

Sarwa Mangalam! I rejoice you were able to purify your negative karma with bad teachers in this life so that your powerful positive merit could lead you to two teachers of incomparable wisdom and skill. If you've been under the wing of these two there is no doubt you will fly far.
